Reading Log:
The purpose of reading logs is to encourage students to read more in their personal time and to also develop their abilities to think critically about a text and create responses that reflect their comprehension and opinions. These connections and evaluations must be supported by a reason. These can be created and uploaded to your wiki page, be hand written or printed and pasted into back of your reading book. If you print them you MUST make sure that the edges are trimmed and not hanging out the side of your book.
There must be two texts logged by the end of Term 1. These can include novels, poetry, graphic novels, newspaper or magazine articles.
1)-Students need to write a brief summary about the text-no more than 8 sentences. 2)-Personal Response-this is the students' response to the text. Included here can be comments about: what students thought about the text and why/ why the author wrote the text/sentences or vocabulary that really stood out and why/ how the text related to their own life or community/how the text related to a world event/novel-how and why a character changed throughout the book.
Please find below a copy of what a good reading log looks like, in class we will also create a class model to help support their understanding.
